IIDA members and its expansive design community are changemakers and leaders in all sectors of society, and together We Make Space—physical space, community space, social space, equitable space, as well as space to support and enhance our communities. Join or renew today.

Our members are changemakers and leaders in the industry working to create collective spaces where we all can thrive together. We offer members resources, support, and programming that bring to light the issues we face in the design world. From equity to sustainability our members take in knowledge and execute plans to support and enhance our communities. We talked with a few of our members about their experience being a part of IIDA and the value it brings to their lives and professions. Hear and see what they have to say.
